The Second Ring
Chapter Twelve

Lalisa is crying in the bathroom. He regretted it, but he didn't want the relationship and James just ended up.

"No, don't want to. I don't want to end up with James." Lalisa's inner.

Lalisa contacts James, the call is connected, but has not been picked up by James. Lalisa tried several times and still did not get an answer. He stopped his call and kept his phone in his bag.

He wiped his tears, then came out of the room. Lalisa washes her hands, reflecting on her puffy eyes. Lalisa remembers Adelle's words, if every action must have a consequence. Lalisa has been flirting and becoming a third party to Adelle and James' relationship, even because Adelle and James were divorced. Realizing that, Lalisa should have picked the fruit from what he planted himself.

Adelle said that Lalisa must eat and enjoy the fruits of the harvest. Before leaving, Adelle asks Lalisa no longer come looking for her. Because Adelle doesn't want to be involved in anything related to James.

Because for Adelle, James is just a bad memory to be buried. James was her ex-husband for the past five years, but James was also a thorn in his flesh that made her feel the pain of being betrayed.

"Will my relationship with James end just like Adelle and James?" lalisa muttered manatap mirror.

In her study, Adelle looked dreamy. He thought of all the words he had thrown at Lalisa.

"Why am I talking so rudely, huh? is it because I'm upset?" inner Adelle.

He should not say stupid things as if he was angry, only Adelle could not control her emotions.

"That's it. It's up to him to respond to what I say. We won't see each other anymore either." Adelle's inner.

Adelle closed her eyes, she thought she was free after the divorce, in fact she was getting entangled. Adelle took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He did it over and over again to calm his heart and mind.

On second thought, Adelle felt sorry for Lalisa. Seeing how messy Lalisa's appearance was when she met him. Adelle was also curious, why didn't James marry Lalisa as soon as possible? will it wait until Lalisa gives birth?

"Or the rotten man had another reason. Don't tell me she's got another woman besides Lalisa," Adelle's inner self guessed.

Adelle shook her head slowly, feeling foolish when she thought of complicated things that were not her business. Adelle returns to work to take her mind off Lalisa and James.

***

In the afternoon. As Adelle prepares to return home from work. Cellphone's ringing. Adelle's getting a call from Kenzo. It turns out Kenzo took Adelle to go to the birthday of one of his clients. Since he has no partner to go to, he takes Adelle with him. That's if Adelle pleases.

"Did you go with me as my partner?" Ask Kenzo.

Kenzo says he won't force Adelle's will. Hearing Kenzo's request, Adelle asked when the event was held? Kenzo replied, two more days at his hotel.

Adelle silently thought for a while, then echoed Kenzo's request.

"Yes, okay. I'll go with you" Adelle replied.

Adelle is ready to be Kenzo's partner. Adelle added a condition, Kenzo must be willing to work together for the next project. That means Kenzo must continue to use products from the Adelle company.

"Do you agree with my terms?" ask Adelle.

Kenzo laughed, not expecting Adelle to apply a condition that could not be rejected. Kenzo will agree to all of Adelle's terms, as long as it doesn't hurt.

"You can apply conditions that are not easy, yes. Isn't that cheating" replied Kenzo.

"Cheat what? This is only a condition that I have applied, you may not accept it and replace it with another condition. As long as it benefits me, hahaha .. "kaga Adelle, then laugh.

"No, no. I was just kidding. Whatever your conditions will be I will fulfill." replied Kenzo.

"I assure you," said Adelle confidently.

"All right, I believe. Let's work together well, Director ma'am." replied Kenzo teasingly.

Adelle smile. He tells Kenzo not to keep teasing him. Because there is still work, Adelle immediately say goodbye.

The call ended. Adelle got ready and went straight home. He wants to immediately soak in warm water, eat and sleep soundly. His body felt tired and uncomfortable.

***

In his study, Kenzo stared at his phone screen and smiled. Although she has not known Adelle for a long time, she is sure Adelle will not disappoint her. Kenzo wants to work with Adelle.

"There's no harm in trying it" murmured Kenzo.

Seeing Adelle who insisted, Kenzo hope Adelle company products are satisfying and in accordance with his expectations.

Kenzo also contacted his Assistant, and told his Assistant, if he would use furniture products from the Adelle company. The assistant is asked to prepare all the documents needed for cooperation.

Arriving at the apartment, Lalisa sat on the sofa. He caught his breath because of exhaustion.

"Hasn't he gone home yet?" batin Lalisa looked around the house. There was no sign of James

Since James left for work early in the morning, Lalisa was alone in the apartment. He is no longer working, he sometimes feels bored and bored.

After finding out positively pregnant, Lalisa resigned from her job because she did not want to cause rumors. As a female worker who displays a good impression, friendly and elegant in the company, Lalisa as much as possible hide her pregnancy so as not to be discovered.

While his gestational age was still early, he also chose to stop working. That he did also so that all his office friends do not suspect and think badly about him.

Lalisa fell asleep on the couch until James came home from work. Seeing Lalisa sleeping in an uncomfortable position, James confirmed his position. Lay Lalisa's body down onto the sofa, and raise Lalisa's legs to the sofa.

"Why is he sleeping on the couch?" inner James.

He went to the room to get a blanket and returned to the living room. She covered Lalisa's body to keep warm. James looked at Lalisa's face, rubbed her gently, then kissed Lalisa's forehead.

"Hmmm ... James, is that you?" lalisa asked still with her eyes closed.

"Yes, it's me. Go to sleep, I'll take a shower and make dinner. I'll wake up" said James.

Lalisa opened her eyes slowly. Although his eyes were sleepy, he tried to hold it.

"James .." call Lalisa staring at James. Lalisa held James' arm tight.

"Yes? what's up?" james looked at Lalisa.

Lalisa asks, will James leave her? Lalisa was crying, she begged James not to dump her.

James widened his eyes. Suddenly I asked Lalisa something surprising. He asked Lalisa not to think much. James said that he would never leave Lalisa. He promised Lalisa.

Lalisa got up from a lying position and hugged James tightly. Lalisa said she loved James. Hearing the expression of love from Lalisa, makes James happy. He also expressed his love for Lalisa.
